Problem

You have an LDAP entry with an attribute that consists of json entries, and you would like to use ldapsearch to filter on a json item condition.

So having the attribute

mobileIDAuthenticator: {“creationDateTime”:”2023-08-28T14:53:29.061Z”,”state”:”ENABLED”,”mobileNumber”:”+411111111″,”mobileSerialNumber”:”AAAAAAAAAAAAA”}

you would like to filter on the state item.


Solution

you can use the following syntax:

ldapsearch -LLL -H "ldaps://domain.com:1636" -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w $LDP -o ldif_wrap=no -c -vvvv -b "ou=persons,dc=domain,dc=com" -s sub "(mobileIdAuthenticator=state eq 'ENABLED')"  uid mobileIDAuthenticator

Validating yaml to json conversion

When using yaml to json conversion as it happens when using Terraform’s helm provider with a helm chart’s values.yaml file, it won’t be possible to check and get any useful validation errors, even when your terraform plan is run.

In order to check before running your plan or if you have any errors you can use yq passing as below using the values.yaml file

yq -p yaml -o json values.yaml
